20 years. One teacher. Countless students. 🧡
Some people pass through a community. Others help build it. Erica is the second kind. She's taught the Original Hot Yoga series for two decades, most of them right here at Thrive, transforming lives one class at a time.
We asked what's mattered most. Of course, she made it about everyone else: "The students and the community at Thrive are so important to me. Some have been here even longer than I've been teaching."
And on why she keeps coming back to her own mat: "This is a yoga for real life. We have to keep breathing, keep going, and stay calm when the going gets tough."
Twenty years, Erica. Thank you. 🙏
If she taught your first class or your most recent one, tell her in the comments. And come practice with her at our Troy suite, most mornings at 9:30 and 11:30am.
